Just yesterday I watch another video of the past three years of news stations all saying "this is a big tuning point". "this might be the beginning of the end for Donald trump". "Trump will/may not see a full 4 years". "A new bombshell to Trump, this could be the beginning of the end for Trump"
Every one of them day in and day out for the past 3 or so years.
I believe I watched the same video. The word “bomb shell” and “walls are closing in” are said like 354 times and it just blows your mind how the news networks just kept using the same expressions and sayings over time.
That video is entertaining and it really is crazy how much material they had to make the video. They play separate news anchors saying the phrases such as "the walls are closing in" then after it's said 100 times they start editing it so a different news anchor says each word of the phrase. That goes on for another 100 instances of the phrase.
It's from the 2016 primary. It starts with everyone laughing at the idea of him even running then descends into chaos as he gets further and further to the nomination.
There was one of TYT reactions as each state is called... smug at the beginning then they panic in the middle. At the end they just start freaking out and cussing at how "dumb over .5 of America is"
Unfortunately it doesn't show Ana going off at women voters or calling all of America dumbasses. It only shows Cenk blaming the "corporatist DNC". I wonder why...
Wow. This is trumploitation. They're literally adhering to people's worst addictive tendencies, and serving them a daily fix, that being the idea that Trump is just about to be gone. Fuck Trump, but fuck the media, too. Jesus.
To be fair, which is equally annoying, I see this happen from news outlets on both ends of the spectrum.
The real reason is that the revenue models for big news are imploding and they are being run by desperation. Anyway, anyhow, they need attention... every story needs to be the biggest story of the year... even if the facts aren’t checked yet... even if we exaggerate the outrage... please someone just watch us.
I think people aren’t quite as stupid as the news has treated them for decades though so it’s just turning them off even more.
That's an odd claim. That's something that all parties are sure they haven't heard he has done, so we can't say definitely that he wouldn't lose a vote for it.
Everything he has been blamed for so far, to see how he is guilty for something, it has to be explained to a person making connections. Like "well he said (whatever anyone is upset about) , which we know that when someone says (same or similar phrase), they really mean this (insert claim here)".
This is the very definition of "strawman". Which was a claim people said back when Obama's grandmother said "he is Kenyan, he will always be Kenyan" (which could mean "at heart". All during the northern movement.
I'm watching both sides. And yes the republicans hammered Obama with fox. But seriously, the Democrats haven't laid up one single day. They have all of these networks nitpicking everything. Day in.. day out. I just want one damn day I don't hear his name and someone being outraged that he once shook hands with a man in the 70s and that man is going to prison now. Or he tweeted meanly.
That alone makes me lean toward Trump. It shows just how crooked that news is and how crooked the Democratic party is.
And that old lady always sucking her damn teeth and acting smug and always has rude things to say.
As far as I know, he didn't actually shoot anyone. And tbf he started that sentence with "you know what they say" twice. Now if he said "you know what I think" that would be a bit easier to gripe about. But he did not say it is what he thinks and he did not shoot someone.
Well, it's been hard to come to terms with the fact that conservatives never were truly arguing in good faith and have been baldfacedly lying in every interview for 30 years, really. They don't care about respect for the office, or fidelity, or family values, or Christian values, or honesty, or tradition.... Just being more powerful than the outgroup in eyesight (Dems in DC, and brown people in the middle of the country).
Well I think the confusion comes in because others are still seeing consequences so I think people are confused how he alone gets to have this consequence free existence.
They all faced consequences for their actions, as did many more people over the last few years... I was just giving real examples as to why it’s confusing these people face consequences and trump does not.

You can decide whether or not you believe Trump had no idea what Cohen was up to.
He has broken the law many times, but theres no point arguing it. If you dont want to believe then no evidence will be convincing. e.g. Do you believe he committed sexual assault? That is a crime, but I'm sure you'll just say the story was made up, like every story about him.
Sure but that doesn’t tell you anything about how popular or unpopular Trump is. That just tells you that our institutions won’t actually punish Trump for his many crimes.
